8 Day-Winter Skill Course
From 1-8 February 2027 & 8-15 February we will meet up north for a unique winter skill course in the heart of Sami land, Inari. In a small group you learn different ways of snowtraveling (snowshoe, ski, snowmobile) as well as how to take safely care of yourself. During this week you will grow as a person and get a better understanding of the traditional Sami life and their traditions.
